Can I use a HDR-FOX T2 for French TV, I know I will not get a 7 day EPG, but will I be able to stop or rewind and record and will I be able to get the French HD channels in order ie starting at 1,
If no one can answer this question I will buy one and try it, and report back
Many thanks
Peter
peter - I somewhow get the impression that you have not esplained the whole story. Would you be planning to use the (PAL) T2 only in France on the French (SECAM) system or are you hoping to move it backwards amd forwards or perhaps also have s saterlite feed in France. What TV will you use it with and how will you connect it.
I don't know if it would work at all - sound compatability (differing frequency) is a standard problem - It really is not suited to the French system - why not go for one of the saterlite PVRs that Humax make for France. Humax France
Thanks for the reply Repassac, I will only using the box in France, I have a LG 42 inch TV HD ready, with Freeview which I use for TNT but no HD, I have satellite for UK Freesat Humax hdr,
But did not realize Humax did a French box, so I will look at getting one of them, as I just want to record and be able to stop and replay programs on TNT not satellite like I can on my Uk Humax hdr box
Thanks again
Peter
PS Thanks for the link
I think Humax on do SAT TNT - however there are quite some others on the market try a seach on "enregistreur TNT HD". You can get TNT from SAT or from a Ter. Broadcast.

The issues you quote above are all to do with analogue TV. There is no such thing as SECAM on digital. Nor is the audio at a different frequency offset from the video, it's all just data in the multiplex on digital. The TV also won't object provided it is fed by either RGB SCART or HDMI.
There may well be issues with what the poster is proposing to do, but they aren't any of the ones you have described.
The Sound was only an issue on RF out - scart always worked. I did not know SECAM did not effect digital - ta for the info.

Thanks for that, I know my terrestrial digital Freeview works ok and gives me TNT terrestrial digital, which is why I wonderd if a Humax HDR-FOX T2 would work for me, I may not have exsplained what I want to do very well so I appologise for that, I have decided I only want to buy a Humax box as I have been so pleased with the Humax boxes I have now But they are just watching UK tv and I now find I am watching more and more French TV and would like to get the HD channels for better picture quality
Many thanks
